Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to hair coloring systems, and more particularly concerns a hair coloring system which permits the user to select and control the particular hair color formulation to be provided by the system.
  • Coloring of hair can be cumbersome and can sometimes lead to unpredictable or unsatisfactory results. It is also time-consuming and requires significant cleanup.
  • the process usually involves a sequence of specific steps, including the user opening one or more containers and mixing the contents to produce the advertised color formulation.
  • the formulation is then applied by the user to the hair, including rubbing it in to the hair area and then combing it in.
  • the hairline is done first, then the hair roots, and then the remaining bulk of the hair.
  • the tools must then be cleaned and put away.
  • the overall process and particularly the unpredictability of the results leads to a general lack of confidence on the part of most users, particularly home users. Accordingly, a hair coloring system useful at home which provides reliable, predictable results and has the capability of a wide variety of coloring is desirable.
  • the document US2004/0187883A1 discloses a dye applicator having dye and catalyst containers.
  • the document US2003/0052159A1 discloses a system for reading and writing a multi-memory card.
  • the document US5862947 discloses a system for mixing and dispensing oxygen sensitive hair dye.
  • the invention provides a hair coloring system according to claim 1.
  • a single use hair color consumable assembly for use with a hair coloring system, comprising a hair color packet assembly having at least one chamber or packet for a hair coloring formulation and one or none chamber for a developer; a separate pump for each color and developer chamber, wherein the pump is responsive to a control signal for directing selected amounts from each color chamber and developer chamber into a mixing assembly, wherein the mixing assembly produces a formulation having a color selected by a user; and a brushhead/distributor member connected to the mixing assembly by a fluid directing element, the brushhead/distributor including openings through which the formulation is delivered.
  • the hair coloring system comprises a hair color packet assembly having at least one coloring chamber and one or none developer material chamber; a pump for each of the coloring chambers and the developer material chamber; a control assembly operable to control the pump members to produce a selected color following mixing; a mixing assembly operable to mix the coloring material or the coloring and developer material; a brushhead/distributor connected to the mixing assembly by a connecting line; a handle for holding the brushhead/distributor, wherein the brushhead/distributor is adapted to move in the handle; and a motor in the handle to move the brushhead back and forth in a linear oscillation.
  • Figure 1 shows a generalized view of the hair coloring system of the present invention at 10. It includes a packet assembly 12 which includes a plurality, two in Figure 1 , of individual color packets, although a single hair coloring packet can be used. Also, a developer packet can be included. Use of a developer with the hair coloring provides a more lasting coloring effect, up to one month or so, referred to as permanent coloring, while without use of the developer, a semi-permanent coloring results, usually lasting approximately a week or so. The developer can be used with multiple coloring packets or a single coloring packet. Each of the hair coloring packets 14 and 16, and the developer packet 18, have their own individual pumps 20, 22 and 24.
  • the individual pumps are controlled by a control assembly 26 which controls each pump to produce a desired color, as explained in more detail below.
  • the outputs of the coloring packet pumps are applied to a color common tube or line 28 while the developer is applied to a developer line 29.
  • the two lines 28 and 29 merge into a mixer line 30, which contains a mixing element 31.
  • the mixer line 30 is connected to a brushhead/distributor element 32 which is mounted in a handle or wand 34.
  • the operation of the appliance is controlled by an on/off switch 36 which initiates the operation of the pumps, for dispensing the hair color formulation through the brushhead.
  • the handle 34 also includes a driver motor 37 which provides a controlled movement of the brushhead to assist in the application of the color formulation to the hair. This action is controlled by switch 38 which can be separate from the on/off pumping switch 36, although both functions can be controlled by a single switch. The movement of the brushhead can be synchronized with the pumping action of the color formulation.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B show the hair color packet assembly in more detail.
  • Each hair coloring event will typically have its own consumable, which is discarded following use.
  • FIG 2A shows in representational form a particular packet assembly 40 arrangement with three separate, individual color packets or chambers 42, 44, 46.
  • a developer packet 48 is also included in the assembly.
  • Various structural arrangements, i.e . appliance housings, for containing the color chambers and their associated pumps and the mixing line are possible
  • Each color packet or chamber or developer packet or chamber has its own separate associated pump 48-51.
  • the packet assembly is positionable in and removable from the appliance body.
  • a connecting line 63 connects the packet assembly to the brushhead (not shown).
  • the color packets are made of flexible plastic having a volume of approximately 60 cc.
  • the developer packet has a volume of approximately 60 cc.
  • the pumps are conventional, as illustrated in Figure 2B .
  • the hair color or developer enters the pump at entry point 53 and exits at exit point line 55. Details concerning pump action to produce related colors are set forth below.
  • the colors in the three packets include blond, red and dark brown. Typically, this is sufficient to provide a large number of different colors.
  • the color formulations can be provided by various color hair dye manufacturers. One example is color dyes from L'Oreal SA.
  • the exit line of each pump will be directed to a color packet connection line 52 and the developer pump will exit to a developer line 54.
  • the lines 52 and 54 will meet to a mixer line 56 in which is positioned a conventional mixing element 58 ( Figure 6 ).
  • the mixer 58 combines them to produce the final desired color which is provided to a brushhead through a connecting tube 63, which is described in more detail below.
  • the mixer element is conventional, comprising a single member, non-movable, configured as shown, so that the fluid must follow a tortuous path and become thoroughly mixed.
  • the individual pumps 48-51 are separately controlled by a microprocessor and motor arrangement, also referred to as a control assembly, to produce the final desired color from the three color packets and the developer packet.
  • This arrangement is shown at 59 in more detail in Figure 3 .
  • a control microprocessor is shown at 64.
  • the microprocessor 64 controls a motor drive circuit 66 which in turn controls a series of motors 68-71, one motor for each pump.
  • the control assembly 59 is connectable to the packet assembly 75 and the individual pumps thereon via a gearbox and shaft coupling, shown generally at 74, with the drive shaft for the packet pumps shown at 74A.
  • the packet outlet 75A is shown with the output connecting line 76 extending to the brushhead/distributor.
  • the microprocessor can be controlled in various ways by a user to produce the desired color, shown at 78 in Figure 3 .
  • One way is by means of a color card which is read optically at interface 80.
  • the information is then transmitted to the microprocessor.
  • the color card is thus used in essence to program the microprocessor, which in turn controls the motors which drive their associated pumps, to produce the selected color on the card.
  • the control information is stored in a table or the like in the microprocessor.
  • the preferred flow rate in connecting line 63 in Figure 2A is 150 ml in two minutes, or 1.25 ml per second.
  • the combined flow rate from the color packets 42, 44 and 46 in Figure 2 is approximately equal to the flow rate from the developer packet 48, i.e. 0.625 ml per second.
  • Each of the motors for the individual pumps in the embodiment shown is a gear motor with a maximum RPM of 200. If the gear:volume ratio is 0.25, it is possible to solve for gear diameter "d", as set forth below. Each pump separately will produce 0.75 ml/sec max.
  • Each pump in the embodiment shown has 20 separate distinct steps in pumping rate. With three color packets, the various combinations of the three colors and the developer will result in a total of 210 different color combinations possible.
  • control/interface combinations can be used, including a bar code on a card and associated reader or an RFID tag and an associated reader, or by a wireless command.
  • voice commands both for color and to control the pumping action, i.e . the flow rate.
  • the individual pumps can be controlled to produce the desired flow rate, as well as the particular color composition.
  • the apparatus in the embodiment shown, is powered by a battery, with a sealed closed-path construction so that the appliance can even be used safely in the shower.
  • a closed path is to protect the user from exposure to the coloring fluid, except on the hair.
  • the disposable assembly portion of the system shown in Figure 9 , includes the packet assembly and the associated pump/motor arrangement 61, the mixing portion 63 and the dispensing brushhead/distributor 65, as well as a connecting line 67.
  • the color communication element such as the particular color card used to program the microprocessor, can also be a single-time consumable item.
  • Figures 4 , 5 , 7 and 8 show the brushhead/dispenser 79 for the system, both alone and in combination with an associated handle or wand.
  • FIGS 7A and 7B show one brushhead arrangement. It includes an upper portion 80 to which a connecting line from the mixing assembly is attached at inlet 81. Extending from the upper portion are two clips 82 and 84 which connect the brushhead to a handle 86, shown in Figure 8 . Extending downwardly from the upper portion are a series of hollow tines 88-88. In the embodiment shown, the tines are approximately 0.7 inches long and have an opening approximately 0.030 inches in diameter at the distal end thereof for exit of the hair color formulation. The tines are separated by a distance of approximately 0.25 inches in one embodiment to permit the positioning of intermediate nylon bristle tufts 92-92.
  • the bristles extend just past the lower end of the tines, contacting the scalp 94, as shown in Figure 4A .
  • the bristle tufts have approximately 15 individual bristle elements, in a tuft approximately 0.1 inches in diameter. As indicated above, in use, the bristles contact the scalp, while the tines are positioned slightly above the scalp, allowing the hair formulation to escape.
  • the handle 86 ( Figure 8 ) has an extended portion 95 which is easy to grasp by a user.
  • the connecting line 97 from the color formulation mixer extends along the handle.
  • the brushhead is snapped into place into the handle by clips 82, 84.
  • the system can operate as described above by action of the on/off switch 36 which begins the pumping action for hair formulation at the desired flow rate.
  • the pumping rate can be controlled by a slidable switch or by voice actuation to control the motor RPM for the pumps.
  • the handle can also include a motor arrangement 98, which is shown generally in Figure 5 , to provide a linear oscillating motion of the brushhead/distributor.
  • FIG. 5 shows a simplified drive arrangement for brushhead 100 which is snap-fitted via clips 102, 104 to a slidable tray 106 on the handle.
  • the slidable tray is moved back and forth linearly by a motor 108 with a connecting rod 110.
  • the motor is controlled by a switch 38 on the handle ( Figure 1 ) and has a separate power supply 112.
  • Other arrangements for controlling the linear oscillation movement of the brushhead can be used.
  • the linear motion simulates the gloved finger rubbing of the formulation by the user into the root and hairline areas, resulting in a reliable and accurate control over the coloring for those hair areas.
  • an optional coarser brushhead can be used with wider tine spacing to glide through the hair, with fluid being continually dispensed at a selected rate to coat the hair.
  • An adjustment can be made to dispense fluid to each tine, thus conveniently providing fluid to the bulk of the hair.
  • Fairly long strokes are used to dispense the formulation along the hair so that slight variation in color programmed into the mixing portion of the appliance can provide an improvement to the appearance of natural color variation verses single color systems.
  • the color composition can be made to vary to any degree over time to produce color variation, by simply programming the microprocessor. For instance, each brush stroke through the bulk of the hair can produce a slightly different tint or shade. Further, a multi-tube connecting arrangement could be used for transfer of a different color to different tines of the brushhead, so that small individual hanks of hair can receive a different color when compared to the neighboring hanks.
  • color variation requires coloring of small hanks of hair and protecting them by aluminum foil to prevent bleeding through from one hank to the next and to prevent premature drying of small hanks of hair with such a relatively unfavorable volume-to-volume ratio.
  • there are two ways of eliminating the foil process One is to provide slight color variation as described above so that a bleed-through from one hank to the next is not noticeable. The results of using this method or technique will be less natural than a salon treatment, but an improvement over single color approaches.
  • Another way is to provide separately fed tines in the brush so that the individual tines can dispense different color formulations, to permit meaningful color transfer from one hank of hair to the next.
  • the present invention is convenient to use, with high performance, providing significant confidence for the user in the results.
  • the closed fluid path there is no need to pour and shake separate containers.
  • the present system can be used in the shower, which enhances cleanliness and further eliminates the required care and time of cleaning components, gloves and the need for manual manipulation of the hair roots and hairline necessary with conventional hair coloring systems.
  • the present system results in a significant improvement in both reliability and color variability of home use hair coloring systems.
